folks--after breaking the plates yesterday I topped that today by once
again doing something stupid! I decided to bake a chocolate--don't ask
me why LOL--and put it in
the oven at 3 PM and completely forgot about it until 6 PM!!! Guess I
was lucky it didn't cause a fire. Strangely enough there never was a
smell of a burning cake. I couldn't help myself--I had to taste
it--very odd--it did nottaste burnt nor did it taste like chocolate--it was completely tasteless!! That's a hard one to figure out but I think I better buy a timer!
After
the whole thing with the handicap placard ticket and the running around
I was feeling pretty good that chances of it being dismissed were very
high so, as only I can do, I looked at it as being $250 ahead. I know
there is some logic there but what it is I can't say--the ticket hasn't
been dismissed yet, I never had the $250 to begin with but, as I always
say, my brother got the money gene, I didn't,
I do love plants and sort of have a green thumb. I decided after going to Publix,
Winn Dixie and the Dollar Tree store (thought of you Tim) where I spent
the most at the latter and it being Thursday I went to Home Depot to see what they were having on sale regarding plants. I bought a pot of Fall Mums, 3 various colored Penta plants and as I was going to check out I saw that they were having a sale on Areca palms for $7.99 and I thought it would look great on the walkway right outside my so I bought one.
Among the pentas (both on my window sill and outside) and areca palm I have 2 pots of violets, a Cuban buttercup that is always in bloom, a couple of sweet potato planst, a few pots of coleus and a bromiliad. I just love plants, flowers and Mother Nature!!!
I did something very rare, for me--I threw out the tasteless,
burnt chocolate and didn't even think of making another one!!! Oh, did
I mention that I got a bag of caramel, chocolate drizzled popcorn with
peanuts? LOL
